Vintage guitars for sale: Hofner Senator

I inherited this Hofner Senator archtop guitar from my father. He bought it in 1962 and looked after it meticulously and it had a professional set up so the action is low and very enjoyable to play. I am selling it as it's a guitar definitely more suited to jazz. The guitar's Hofner label provides Senator Reg No. 2730. The ebony fascia headstock has type 1 individual machine heads and inlaid pearl decoration. It has a compensator tailpiece, a mock tortoiseshell scratchplate, a maple laminated ... more

Hofner Senator 1960 in a natural maple finish / Serial No. 10 442
The good the bad and the ugly
It's a well-loved guitar but needs some attention, hence the low price, compared to others on here It's been modified for a lefty but wouldn't take much (new nut) to change it back The neck has been reset and re fretted (by a professional luthier) and it plays ok (great sound!) but could do with setting up and new strings There's plenty of signs of wear, scratches, dings and cracked varnish... more

According to serial numbers, this is one of 2098 made in 1960 Possibly rarer by the fact it is a natural maple finish (there were several different finish styles), rather than the sunburst Express24 next working day ... more
